Trump To Formally Sign Executive Order That Would Close The Department Of Education– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump is officially moving forward with his plan to dismantle the Department of Education, a move he campaigned on and has taken steps towards implementing since he was inaugurated on January 20.

Trump has long pointed to declining nationwide standardized test scores and overall poor performance of the U.S. public education system despite the fact that the nation leads the world in education funding. The president, along with proponents of abolishing the department, have long called for education to be returned to state control.

“NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) scores reveal a national crisis — our children are falling behind,” Harrison Fields, the White House principal deputy press secretary, told Fox News. “Over the past four years, Democrats have allowed millions of illegal minors into the country, straining school resources and diverting focus from American students.”

“Coupled with the rise of anti-American CRT and DEI indoctrination, this is harming our most vulnerable,” he added. “President Trump’s executive order to expand educational opportunities will empower pare

Copper Hits $10,000 in Rally Fueled by Trump’s Tariff Threats– financialpost.com

Excerpt:

(Bloomberg) — Copper marched past its key threshold of $10,000 a ton after weeks of global trade dislocation triggered by President Donald Trump’s push for tariffs on the crucial industrial metal.

Trump last month ordered the US Commerce Department to investigate US imports of copper as a likely precursor to imposing duties. Since then, US prices have spiked and traders have scrambled to send metal to America ahead of any tariffs, in turn reducing supply in the rest of the world.

Copper on the London Metal Exchange rose as much as 0.5% to $10,040 a ton on Thursday — the highest level since October — while prices on New York’s Comex neared a record high.

Zelensky Says Discussed With Trump US Idea Of Owning Occupied Nuclear Plant– www.ndtv.com

Excerpt:

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday said that he and US counterpart Donald Trump had discussed possible US ownership of the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine.

His comments to reporters came after Trump told Zelensky on Wednesday that the United States could own and run Ukraine’s nuclear power plants as part of his latest bid to secure a ceasefire in Russia’s invasion.

“We talked only about one power plant, which is under Russian occupation,” Zelensky, who was on an official visit to Finland, said during an online briefing, referring to the plant in Zaporizhzhia.

The power station, Europe’s largest, was captured by Russian forces early in their invasion launched in February 2022 and since has been a flashpoint of concerns over a possible nuclear incident.

Ask PolitiFact: Is Tren de Aragua invading the US, as Trump says? Legal experts say no.– www.politifact.com

Excerpt:

As justification for deporting some immigrants in the country illegally without due process, President Donald Trump said the U.S. is under invasion.

“Evidence irrefutably demonstrates that (Tren de Aragua) has invaded the United States,” a March 15 White House proclamation said. Tren de Aragua is a Venezuela-based gang with some U.S. presence.

The proclamation says Tren de Aragua “is a hybrid criminal state that is perpetrating an invasion of and predatory incursion into the United States,” and so any person 14 years or older who is a Tren de Aragua member and who has neither U.S. citizenship nor permanent residency can be arrested, detained and deported using the Alien Enemies Act.

Trump and his allies have referred to illegal immigration as an invasion for years, and Trump’s move to use the 1798 Alien Enemies Act for deportations hinges on this characterization. To invoke the law, the U.S. has to be at war or under invasion by a foreign

Mexico City bans violent bullfighting in bid to keep the tradition, but without the bloodshed– www.cbsnews.com

Excerpt:

Mexico City — Mexico City lawmakers on Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to ban violent bullfighting, triggering outrage from aficionados and celebration from animal rights advocates. The legislation, approved by a 61-1 vote, prohibits the killing of bulls and the use of sharp objects that could injure the animals. It also sets time limits on how long bulls can be in the ring, all part of an initiative dubbed “bullfighting without violence.”

The decision sparked angry protests from bullfighting supporters and matadors, some of whom tried to breach a police barricade at the local Congress. Some carried signs that read “Being a fan of la fiesta brava (bullfighting) is not a crime, it’s a point of pride.”

Animal rights activists and lawmakers who have been pushing the bill celebrated, however, walking out onto the steps of Congress surrounded by police in riot gear, pumping their fists and carrying stuffed bull dolls.

“It was either this or nothing,” said Sofía Morín, an animal rights activist with the organization Culture Without Torture, Mexico Without Bullfighting, leading the initiative to change the laws. “We prefer this because, without a doubt, it’s a huge step in protecting animals.”

Roberts’ Obsession With SCOTUS Legitimacy Has Delegitimized It– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

The chief irony of Chief Justice John Roberts’ tenure at the Supreme Court is that the man so doggedly devoted to defending the judiciary has done so much to undermine it. In so doing, he has threatened not only the court’s legitimacy but the republic itself.

His latest such act wasn’t an abomination of a ruling on the level of Obamacare, the census citizenship question, or DACA; a faulty probe into a devastating leak; or a defense of the indefensible censorship-industrial complex. It was a terse three-line statement that may prove the most consequential — and corrosive — move of them all.

“For more than two centuries,” the chief justice wrote, “it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate review process exists for that purpose.”

US Navy, Coast Guard end abortion funding after Trump executive order– www.lifesitenews.com

Excerpt:

In 2022, the Pentagon said it would pay for service members’ abortion-related travel. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated that the overturning of Roe v. Wade, along with pro-life laws in some states, would affect “readiness, recruiting, and retention implications” for the U.S. military. Therefore, service members and their defendants would be reimbursed for expenses incurred when seeking induced abortions to intentionally end the lives of their preborn children.

After President Donald Trump was inaugurated for the second time in January, he issued an executive order reinforcing the Hyde Amendment, which prevents federal dollars from funding most abortions. As a result, the DOD released a memo confirming it would no longer fund abortion-related travel.

Earlier in March, the Navy announced it would halt abortion-related leave and funding for abortion travel, following the DOD directive. Now, in a memo, the Coast Guard has also confirmed that abortion travel expenses will not be reimbursed, and Coast Guardsmen will not be granted administrative leave for abortion.

Excerpt:

Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old accused of killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, was scheduled to appear in federal court in New York City on Wednesday, but his court date was postponed to next month.

Mangione’s legal team has argued that Mangione’s rights were violated when he was arrested because they say he wasn’t read his Miranda rights and that authorities collected his DNA illegally by offering him a snack and drink before he was arrested. His next federal court appearance is scheduled for April 18.

The accused assassin was apprehended at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, five days after Thompson was shot in the back in New York City on his way to an investor conference on Dec. 4.

A map of 14 million galaxies and quasars deepens a dark energy mystery– www.sciencenews.org Source Link Excerpt:

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Change is in the air. New data strengthen a hint that dark energy, long thought to be constant force in the universe, might change over time.

Dark energy explains the observation that the universe’s expansion rate is accelerating. But its origins are unknown. It’s typically expected to have constant density across the billions of years of the universe’s history. So when researchers from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, or DESI, reported in 2024 that dark energy might vary over time based on their first year of data, it shook cosmology to its core.

Many scientists expected that the standard picture would prevail with additional data from DESI. But that hasn’t happened. Instead, with three years of DESI data, the preference for a changing, or dynamical dark energy has grown.

Mexico’s attorney general cites irregularities in investigation of alleged cartel killing site– abcnews.go.com

Excerpt:

MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s attorney general on Wednesday reported irregularities in an investigation by state authorities into an alleged cartel killing site and training camp at a ranch in the western state of Jalisco where people searching for relatives found hundreds of articles of clothing and other personal effects.

The ranch in the town of Teuchitlan, outside Guadalajara, was found by authorities in September 2024. Six months later, a so-called search collective found charred bone fragments and personal items, raising questions about the original investigation by the Jalisco State Prosecutor’s Office.

Attorney General Alejandro Gertz Manero, whose office took over the investigation last week, said that investigators in Jalisco failed to register evidence and fingerprints and process vehicles found at the ranch, three of which were later stolen.

A now-removed website, “Dogequest,” purportedly doxxed Tesla owners around the nation and mapped out possible targets for destructive protesters.

A report by 404 Media stated that the website featured a searchable map that claimed to display the locations of Tesla dealerships and charging stations, as well as the names, home addresses, phone numbers, and emails of Tesla owners. It also reportedly included the personal information of Department of Government Efficiency employees.

It is unclear how this information was collected.

Spoiler Alert — Trump Is Going to Outlast Wearisome Activist Judges – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Excerpt:

One of the greatest political books I’ve ever read was written almost thirty years ago by the late, great Robert Bork, the brilliant jurist who was kept off the of the Supreme Court in 1987 by a couple of lying scumbag United States Senators named Ted Kennedy and Joe Biden. Yeah, that’s a painful reminder that the younger, semi-coherent (he was always a little off) Biden was just as bad for America as the drooling spaz who spent the last four years autopenning the country into oblivion.

The book was titled “Slouching Towards Gomorrah: Modern Liberalism and American Decline.” As far as prophetic political tomes written in my adult lifetime go, it was surpassed only by Mark Steyn’s “America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It.”

The thing that stuck with me the most when I read “Slouching Towards Gomorrah” shortly after it was published was Bork’s warning about the growing, dangerous role that liberal activist judges would play in wreaking havoc here in the United States. There were already signs of that when the book was published in the late ’90s. However, what we’re dealing with today makes Bork look like the second coming of Nostradamus.

We’ve been subjected to the tawdry spectacle of activist judges doing whatever they wish with the law in order to keep Donald Trump from returning to the presidency. Since that didn’t work and he’s once again President Trump, the hyperactive, extrajudicial loons are throwing tantrums in an effort to thwart his agenda.

Jimmy Kimmel Seemingly Endorses Violence Against Tesla Dealers, Owners– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

Jimmy Kimmel appeared to endorse violent attacks on Tesla dealerships and owners — some of which have involved homemade explosive devices — during Tuesday’s edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live.

The alleged comedian began by pointing to the recent dip in the Musk-owned company’s stock price, which comes amidst a market-wide rough couple of weeks. “Our co-president Elon Musk sent a SpaceX vehicle to bring the astronauts back and when they landed he fired them immediately upon landing. Tesla stock is way down, almost disastrously so,” Kimmel claimed.

The joke drew loud cheers from the audience, even though Tesla’s stock price is still up 38 percent over the past year. Kimmel then addressed the recent acts of vandalism against Tesla vehicles that have been plaguing the country in recent weeks.

“People have been vandalizing Tesla vehicles, new Tesla vehicles. Please don’t vandalize, don’t ever vandalize Tesla vehicles,” Kimmel said before briefly pausing and looking into the camera. The crowd then laughed at the ABC host’s wink and nod at political violence.

Tough road to impeaching judges runs through House Judiciary Committee– www.washingtonexaminer.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

The House Judiciary Committee will take early steps to investigate federal judges who have blocked President Donald Trump‘s executive agenda as the president and hard-line House Republicans push for impeachment.

After weeks of House GOP lawmakers and Trump blasting federal judges for blocking executive actions such as illegal immigrant deportations, Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) heeded the president’s calls and filed articles of impeachment against James E. Boasberg, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

A handful of other judges face impeachment attempts from House Republicans after ruling against Trump this year, including Judge Paul Engelmayer of the Southern District of New York and Judges Amir Ali and John Bates out of Washington, D.C.

House Republicans could take initial steps on investigating judges as soon as next week when they return to Washington, though an exact time frame has not been established.

Excerpt:

You may have heard of the concept of a 15-minute city and are wondering what one is. Here is a farmer to explain with chickens.

Before we start, the idea of a “15-minute city” tends to be fodder for conspiracy theorists. As if there is a grand cabal of global elites looking to control people by limiting them to a fifteen-minute radius and use other dystopian methods to control every aspect of their lives. Get those dark thoughts out of your head.

As WikiPedia tells us, a 15-minute city is nothing more than an “urban planning concept in which most daily necessities and services, such as work, shopping, education, healthcare, and leisure can be easily reached by a 15-minute walk or bike ride from any point in the city” to “reduce car dependency, promote healthy and sustainable living, and improve the overall quality of life for city dwellers.”

Got it? Now here is the farmer with his chickens.

Spain is following trends seen across the Western world, which involve young rudderless people increasingly shunned from the job market, especially if they are natives, and jobs increasingly going to foreigners.
